We have roughly 13,000 tickets and if I want to view all tickets for issues regarding “opera” of which we probably have 800-900, I can only see 50 results, I can limit this by putting “customername” also but I would be most helpful to see more

I have looked through the forum and only found this relating to the amount of search result

> Hi, we had a lot of troubles with spam, but now we got rid of it. The problem is, that our Zammad has now hundrets of users which are spammers, and we need urgentyl to clean up. In the past the administrator could see all users by simply enter a \* in the search bar under users, now this doesn’t work anymore. The search itself works perferkt, but we are not able to see ALL users. Is there a trick? Maybe over the command line? Thanks, Christian.

### Expected behavior:

Search for a term or customer in the search bar and expect to see all results relating to that subject.

### Actual behavior:

Only 50 results are shown in the tickets tab, I would like to potentially increase this.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior:

use the search to search for a popular result.

We had this quite a lot.  
Currently you can’t technically lift this hard limit of 50 search results.

This is for performance reasons and the lack of pagination of the search function.  
We believe that if you have a lot of search results, your usually not finding what you’re searching for, because of the mass of informations you’ll receive.

To overcome this, you could use the API which should allow you to us pagination even on the search endpoint.  
Even though I’m not sure what your goal is.
